Thanks for sharing Steve, that's indeed impressive :)

The mem wasn’t listed as supported by the mobo manufacturer, and it isn’t
detected at its full speed (2800MHz), so currently running at 2400
(“overclocked” from detected 2100 I think).  CPU isn’t overclocked from
stock 3GHz, but I got a liquid cooler, thinking I’d experiment (haven’t
much yet).  Even without overclocking the fans spin faster when all the
cores are busy, and it’s quite the little space heater.

I installed Debian 8, but had to fix the installer in a couple places
because it didn’t know about the new NVMe device naming scheme:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=785147
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=785149

I also upgraded to the 4.0 Linux kernel, since Debian 8 ships with the 3.16
kernel, and 3.19 contains a bunch of NVMe improvements.

And I turned “swappiness" down to zero (thanks to Mike: <
http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2011/04/just-say-no-to-swapping.html>) after
seeing a bunch of test stalls while running the Lucene monster tests with 4
JVMs (takes about 2 hours, but I can get it down to 90 minutes or so by
splitting the two tests in Test2BSortedDocValues out into their own suites
- I’ll make an issue).
